CTRL+COMMANDER

Makes your commander into super big commander in any mod 8)
it makes countdown until it works... just ignore it and wait.

But in those games you should use the more powerful mode integrated in the recent release. For this you have to use the CTRL + ACOMMANDER command which stands for "Advanced Commander". Preferably use it after pretending some normal gameplay to set up your mat... ehm opponents the most...

To add some information to this thread in case someone is actually looking for cheats:

.cheat activates cheat mode, only the host can do this. Typing it again deactivates cheat mode. All following cheats only work if cheat mode is enabled.

.team n changes the team of the player who types the command to team n. Can be very useful for testing, or so a spec can take over for a dropped out player.

.nocost makes all units cost 1 metal and 1 energy. Useful for testing.

.give n unitname puts n units of the type specified to the cursor location, for example .give 1 corkrog. You can find the internal unitnames used in the disable units screen of your lobby.

.spectator put you in spectator mode.

.godmode, if typed while in spectator mode, lets you control all units in the game as if they were yours.

The "hold ctrl and type [...]a[...]d[...]" everyone is suggesting marks all units (ctrl-a) and self-destructs them (ctrl-d).

edit: added the ones people added below.

you killed it. :cry:


To win the game in AA/BA/CA:

Place your cursor over the enemy's base.
Type:
.cheat
.give 100 corkrog

You will be the best player in no time.

I think, in the latest version:

- Added a team parameter to .give: .give [amount] <unitName> [team] @x,y,z

allows you to bypass the necessity for switching teams.

Also an interesting new one is .godmode.
From what I can tell this can be used after .spectator so that you can control all the units in addition to seeing them.
Btw, to get out of .spectator, just use .team.
